A Chattanooga hotel development company recently opened three new hotels in Atlanta, Knoxville and Schererville, Ind.

Vision Hospitality Group Inc. built a 112- suite Residence Inn, a 90-room Fairfield Inn & Suites and an 89-room Hampton Inn & Suites in the three cities across the Southeast and Midwest. The company now has 27 hotels in its portfolio with an additional 15 in development, and is constructing its new headquarters in downtown Chattanooga.
